Environmental awareness and sustainability play a particularly important role in the corporate philosophy of Villeroy & Boch. In order to be able to develop and employ technologies that are both ecologically expedient and economically affordable Villeroy & Boch focuses on research and scientific knowledge, on continuous further development and innovations: the company assumes responsibility for current and future generations and lays the foundation for long-term success in harmony with sustainable environmental protection.
A centralized environment management system supervises all environmentally relevant Group processes and links company locations all over the world. At the same time, Villeroy & Boch is pursuing process-integrated environmental protection, which starts as early as the production stage.
In recent years, it has thus been possible to increase energy efficiency and productivity in the production of ceramics considerably– not least thanks to the pressure casting technique employed at the Torgau tableware factory for the manufacture of modern, asymmetric tableware shapes. As a result of the new wastewater system for glaze processing, approximately 300 tons of dry glaze raw materials can be recovered every year. At the same time, the quantity of wastewater discharged into the Saar has been reduced by half. The manufacture of ceramic products requires extremely high temperatures – a large proportion of the heat loss is passed through a heat recovery system and used for drying the products. By investing in a CHP unit Villeroy & Boch aims to increase energy efficiency even further in the future. In order to generate electricity from waste heat, an internationally unique energy recovery system was installed in 2011 in the Mettlach sanitaryware factory. This system works according to the ORC (Organic Rankine Cycle). The electricity generated in the system is fed into the Villeroy & Boch network and used by the company.
Another impressive example of how energy efficiency can be increased effectively is the tableware furnace at the Merzig factory, which has been optimized to save 4,200 tons of CO2 a year.
In addition, there are various projects from the field of applied research, such as SIMSAN in the production of ceramics, the goal of which is to use resources and energy optimally and thus keep CO2 emissions to a minimum. Within the scope of the Dry Control project, a new, more efficient control and drying process is being developed, which is designed to save 1,550 tons of ceramic raw materials, 15,000 MWh of energy and 2,200 tons of CO2 emissions for the Mettlach factory alone.
Industrial safety and the health of our employees are also part of the overall environmental protection and occupational health and safety strategy at Villeroy & Boch: no lead compounds have been used in sanitaryware production for over 20 years and lead oxide, which is still used by the rest of the ceramic industry, is dispensed with completely at Villeroy & Boch.
Environmental aspects are given particular consideration when developing innovative products. Today's consumers are looking for environment-friendly products, with which they can make an active contribution to environmental protection. A good example of this from the Bathroom and Wellness Division is the Omnia GreenGain WC, which uses as little as 3.5 litres of water per flush, achieving the same flush results while representing a saving of 40% as compared with conventional systems. And if the reduced flushing volume of the dual-flush system is selected, the WC uses just 2 litres of water per flush. Villeroy & Boch also sets standards for urinals: an innovative "Extractor section" reduces the customary flushing volume of 2 to 3 litres to 0.8 litres.
In the fittings segment the single-lever mixers Cult, La Fleur and Circle are equipped with a perlator to save water and energy. And easy-clean properties also make a product environmentally sound: Ceramicplus, a special-finish ceramic surface for sanitaryware products, is especially easy to clean, meaning that the use of water and cleaning-agents is reduced considerably.
Villeroy & Boch surpasses the environmental standards required by law in many fields. Certificates are proof of this. The Swedish factory Vargarda and the Mettlach sanitaryware factory have thus met the stringent European criteria set out by the EMAS environment standard and qualified for globally valid certification according to ISO 14001. The German tableware locations of Torgau and Merzig will also be certified and validated according to ISO 14001 and EMAS criteria this year.

Benefit's daily cleanser comes in a chic blue tube that will make your other products look humdrum in comparison. Appearances aside, the gentle formula works into a creamy, meringue-like lather that softly removes dirt and impurities. And unlike some cleansers, it gets the job done without drying out your skin.
I have tried everything from popular to more overpriced niche brands, and none of them compare to Benefit's radiant skin product line. I have tried every product in the line, narrowing down to five must haves for my daily routine. All of their products come packaged in vintage inspired bottles, and their scent is fresh & clean. For my morning routine, I use their foaming facial wash to remove any excess oil accumulated overnight. Right before I go to bed, I once again use the foaming facial wash to remove dirt & makeup, following up with their exfoliating scrub. Priming my skin, I use their moisture prep toner, finally applying their moisturizer and eye cream just before bed. For the past few years of maintaining this routine, my skin has kept a natural youthful glow, retaining healthy hydration but also preventing excess oil. This is by far the best skin care line there is, and for the price, it is a great value too as each product lasts a very long time.
This face wash is amazing! It feels great on your skin and does a great job cleansing. It also smells amazing which is definitely a plus!
Perfect for 2 time a week facial scrubbing, light yet effective in sloughing off the dead skin, leaves my skin feeling refreshed and clean without that squeaky tight feeling. DEFINITELY a must have in your skin care routine.
Definitely should try this face wash. Really smooth and gentle, one of my favorite morning products along with the Benefit face moisturizer which is also really light
I'm not the youngest person, so I have tried so many facial care regimens over the years and I have to say, this is my favorite cleanser I have ever used.
The smell is fabulous. A little dab of product foams up into a nice creamy lather. And after washing my face doesn't feel dry or tight (sometimes I even forget to put on moisturizer). And at the same time it doesn't feel oily or greasy. I have had problems with breakouts after using other products - non here. This will be my go-to face wash for a very long time.
Great for using right before makeup in the mornings, and doesn't dry out skin much, but don't be fooled, it does require a moisturize
This is a fantastic face wash that cleans deeper than soap and keeps my oily-normal combo face shine-free for many hours. A must have for my beauty routine.
I love this cleanser! It's hard to find something gentle enough to not make your face feel tight after you use it, but that still makes your skin feel clean. This one does it though. Smells great, and gives your skin that deep, squeaky clean feeling.
I would say though, it doesn't "foam" up as much as some other cleansers but I'm okay with that. I love the way it smells and it takes my make up off well.
I love this face wash! It smells great, creates a nice foam, and makes my face feel and look clean without drying out my skin. Recently, I wasn't able to use it for a few days and I saw a noticeable difference (in a bad way) in my skin tone and quality.

The Knight of Wands card reversed suggests that you might have a tendency to place too much value on sex as the barometer of a good relationship. Remember that commitment or love can be measured in many other ways. In fact, using passion as a prize or a weapon could get you into a situation that's way over your head -- this Knight may not deliver what you thought he was promising. The trick is to find a balance. If this is true love, you don't need to play that game to prove his sincerity and your relationship could become stronger and ready to move to the next level. In fact, playtime may be over and it might be time to consider settling down, getting serious or quitting the game.

User reviews on Hope Springs
I agree it was a wonderful movie. I think Steve was perfect in his part. I could almost tell what he was going to say before he did. It was just plain fun. We have been married 60 years & I went to this movie with a lady friend. We both laughed out loud thru much of it as it was so true to life.
But I think many men would just want to snub it. It presented what goes on & was not how men want to be shown, but sadly how many act after many years of marriage.

Berkeley >Food & Dining > Lalime's
1329 Gilman St, Albany, CA | Directions 9470637.881347 -122.288577
Mon-Thu 5:30pm-9:30pm;
Fri-Sat 5:30-10pm;
Sun 5pm-9pm
Neighborhoods: Northwest Berkeley
A longtime Berkeley favorite with an elegant setting and superb California cuisine. – The Scene
Blooming flowers and tall windows mark the facade of this popular restaurant, housed in an unassuming Craftsman-style house. Inside, the rooms have an eclectic charm, with warm lemon-colored walls and a cozy bar with a fireplace. The spacious dining room has snug booths and plenty of window tables.
The Food
The superbly rendered California cuisine follows in the Berkeley tradition with a frequently changing menu that features both pre-set meals and a la carte selections. Appetizers include forni-Brown baby lettuces in a tart vinaigrette topped with a slice of Humbolt Fog goat cheese and plum slivers. Typical entrees are the smoky pork chop topped with sweet corn and green chilies and the white mako shark over sweet peppers. Desserts are usually generous--from a super-dense, super-rich chocolate-raspberry tart to a light cherry-almond cake with hazelnut gelato.
A special place for a special time – My husband and I recently began dining at Lalime's on a regular basis because the experiences we have had have been so stellar. We began by taking friends and clients there for special occasions but learned that our favorite spot was the bar, where you can get the whole menu plus the friendliness and helpfulness of the two main bartenders, Stacy and John. We love the crab cakes, caesar salad, main duck dish and the soups are always fantastic. The whole staff is very accommodating and makes every meal we have there always special.
Disappointing – Four of us went for the Valentine's Day dinner - which was pre-set. I didn't like any of the starters, a cold cucumber peppery amuse and a roquefort/endive/walnut salad - the first terrible and the second average. Our entrees were all delicious, risotto, duck and a steak of some sort. The service was pretty bad, we actually had to ask the waiter to clear our starter plates and took awhile to take an order. The best thing to say is that I started with a fun "Lime Drop" martini made with Hangar One kafir lime vodka. Maybe the place was oversold to me, nice that it was close to home. The ambiance isn't great. It's an old house converted to a restaurant and it smelled peculiar. Our bill for four was $430. :(
Total Letdown – The ambiance nothing more than a store front cafeteria.
They had run out of 2 of 7 main courses on the menu, surprising since it was only 7:15 and not that busy. The other entrees (4 meat and 1 veg) were unappealing.
The cauliflower soup was confusing and tasted like warm milk. It had truffle oil, which was a nice touch, but it also had vinegar drizzled in it. I couldn't get over the vinegar.
I didn't mind the fact that the crabcakes were the smallest I have seen, but my first 3 bites had shell in it...makes it impossible to enjoy them.
The main courses were lackluster as well.
I'm not sure if this place is just on autopilot or what. I know that I won't be going back to this place.
Really, really nice dining experience – Went for my birthday dinner on Friday night, and was DELIGHTED. Probably the best overall dining experience I've had in several years. And with a lot less hassle, attitude, advance planning and parking headache than at many of my usual places in the City.
Everything we tried was wonderful -- drinks, appetizers and entrees -- and we were very pleased with the selection. Tasty, seasonal and fresh.
The service was prompt, friendly and professional. They were very accommodating when we were quite late for our reservation. The atmosphere is warmly attractive, and cozy without feeling crowded. It's a nice size -- smallish, but comfortable even for our party of 6.
A very special feeling evening. Will certainly go again. And again.
Wanabee – Actually I like this place and find it more enjoyable than Chez Panisse except for one thing. The food is bland. It's always been bland and I can't see why it continues to be so bland. The wine list is far better than Chez Panisse though. ANd the plce is a lot cheaper. Bring tobasco or something.
Very Cute – Little out of the way neighborhood sandwiched between downtown and west/industrial berkeley. great restaurant... food is excellent although not *quite* as consistent as the top notch east bay places like chez. i'm satisfied with 9 out or 10 things that i order. simpler things are generally better here. service is good. we've had it be slow a few times but usually they comp something if so and they are always quite attentive. the dining room is laid out so that the servers can quickly survey all their tables from the top of the stairs to see if anyone needs anything. in sum - great food, good service, nice setting... worth checking out for sure
The exterior of the restaurant looks a little run down, but once you go inside, the ambiance is serene and calm.
We ordered 2 appetizers and 2 entrees (no drinks and no dessert) and our bill came out to $67 before tip after tax. I thought the price was decent.
The food was above average; we tried the appetizer called "The 41 dollar burger" (it didn't cost $41) and it was a KILLER. It was the best entree we had. I would highly recommend it. We also had the mussel which was soso...
For our entree, we had a steak and a cedar plank smoked salmon.. both were ok.
The service was slow, but our server was nice.
In summary, this place is not bad for a local romantic dinner.
lovely – Great food, warm and cozy (some tables a little *too* cozy, but oh well). Our food & wine were delicious, as well as beautiful. Our waiter was very frazzled for somereason, and I must assume he was not normally so clumsy (spilled a drink) or spacey. He was, at least, very nice & apologetic. In all it was a fabulous dinner and I will certainly return.

Ellis Fischel Cancer Center (573) 882-2100
Ellis Fischel Cancer Center is Missouri's only hospital dedicated solely to cancer care. Its team of physician specialists and other trained professionals work together with a common goal: to provide the latest cancer treatments and improved quality of life for thousands of people each year. Named after Dr. Ellis Fischel, a physician who envisioned a statewide plan for controlling cancer, the hospital was dedicated on April 26, 1940, as the first cancer center west of the Mississippi River.
VisionDr. Fischel did more than any other person to bring about the establishment of the state cancer hospital. He dreamed of a state-wide plan for the control of cancer, which included a state cancer hospital, equipped with all the latest facilities for treatment, manned by a staff of specially trained physicians, with provision for scientific investigation into the causes and clinical manifestations of this disease, and diagnostic tumor clinics established in various larger cities in the state. With the indefatigable determination and energy for which he was noted, he undertook to translate these dreams into reality. His accomplishments prove that he possessed a type of imagination which enabled him to glimpse what lay beyond our common horizon. A summary of all his endeavors points unerringly toward a life of service to mankind.
ActionThe time had come for legislative action. On Jan. 11, 1937, Governor Lloyd C. Stark of Missouri in his inaugural address, stressed the desirability and importance of a cancer hospital, which he said should be available to "the humblest citizen." Later Senator Michael Kinney of St. Louis introduced a cancer hospital bill to the 59th General Assembly, a measure which was subsequently passed, and which was signed by Governor Stark on May 28, 1937. The bill provided for the erection and operation of a state cancer hospital, the establishment of diagnostic clinics, and for a Cancer Commission to supervise the maintenance of the state's cancer program.
On Nov. 23, 1937, the Missouri State Cancer Commission selected the Columbia site because the city is located virtually in the heart of the state and the two major highways of the time (Highways 40 and 63) of the state intersected in the city. Two months later, the Columbia City Council appropriated $20,000 for the purchase of a 40 acre tract on which the center is presently located.
Dr. Fischel was selected the first chairman of the State Cancer Commission. His selection for this important post was based on an impressive record of technical training and service to suffering humanity. He was a man of culture, a finished surgeon and a surpassing organizer. He was killed May 14, 1938 while driving to Jefferson City on Commission business.
In 1990, Ellis Fischel became a member of the University of Missouri Health Care. Today, physicians and staff members continue to advance Dr. Fischel's vision.

DealNews gives Amazon top marks for live price-matching.
Who were the winners and losers on Black Friday?
More shoppers came out this year than last year, but they spent less. Some of the popular small items were sold out before Cyber Monday sales. We're not shopping from work today, but we do have our eyes on a few deals online if we finish our work in time.
Partner site DealNews has come up with its list of "cheers and jeers" for merchants for their Black Friday performance.
- Video: Black Friday score card
The big winner, they say, was Amazon, which cut prices live to match the best deals offered at Wal-Mart, Target, Best Buy and nearly every other store. Blu-ray and DVD movie prices hit new lows, with popular films selling for $10 or less.
It's making a debut in California and Colorado.
The weirdest prepaid card news to date: A company is offering a prepaid debit card for medical marijuana users.
- Video: Why not tax marijuana?
"There may be no greater sign of marijuana's rising profile in the national economy than this," David Morrison wrote at Credit Union Times.
The card -- dubbed the GreenCard -- will debut in California and Colorado and double as a photo ID for members and users of legal medical marijuana collectives and dispensaries. Expect it to spread to other states where use of marijuana to treat various illnesses and conditions is legal with a doctor's note. No word yet on a medical marijuana gift card.
Popular gifts range from GPS to winter clothes
More shoppers headed out to the malls and onto the Web this year for Black Friday shopping, but once there, they didn't exactly load up their carts.
The National Retail Federation estimated that 195 million shoppers visited stores and websites over Black Friday weekend, up from 172 million the year before, but spending dropped 7.9% to $343.31 per person from $372.57 in 2008.
Some of the drop can be attributed to shoppers focusing on smaller-ticket electronics such as cell phones, rather than computers and huge flat screens, and more practical gifts such as

Your friends and family influence you. They affect the way you view life. If your friends are frugal, it's easier to be frugal yourself. But if they're wrapped up in consumerism and materialism, it can be difficult to resist the urge to join them. It's only natural to want to fit in.
Rob wrote recently to ask how to handle a situation where he wants to lead a simple life, but those around him aren't supportive. How can he cope with peer pressure? Here's his story:
Actually, you shouldn't use your work computer to order gifts, but many people will.
Employers won't like this combination: Lots of people plan to shop online at work for holiday gifts, and retailers are pushing Cyber Monday with more gusto than ever before.
That suggests that come Monday, as the online holiday shopping season kicks off, you've got to wonder who will be minding the store, so to speak.
The Wall Street Journal reports:
According to PriceGrabber.com, more than half of the participants in a recent survey said they planned to shop online on Black Friday or Cyber Monday. Of those, two-thirds expect to make purchases on Monday (80% will on Friday, and half will on both days).
- Bing: Cyber Monday sales
A National Retail Federation survey found that 56% of men, 51% of women, and 74% of those between 18 and 24 who have Internet access on the job plan to shop on their work computers this holiday season.
But it is important that you get the basics right.

In the past week I've already found $1.05. Looks like it's going to be a good year for what blogger Candace Baltz-Smylie calls "Dirty Money."
She means that in a good way, of course.
Under the right circumstances it is, but you'd better know what the recipient likes.
Several questions come to blogger Abigail Perry's mind when she sees one of those commercials with a car in the driveway topped by a big bow. You know -- where the wife goes outside and there it sits, all nice and pretty.
Abby (the daughter of MSN Money "Living With Less" columnist Donna Freedman) wonders how the car got there without the wife noticing. Did they bring it in the middle of the night? Did they check with the husband to make sure she's asleep? "Does that mean the husband gets a walkie-talkie and gets to say things like 'The bear is in hibernation' and 'Roger' and 'Over'?" Abby writes at I Pick Up Pennies.
OK, that's the silly stuff. But Abby also raises some good questions. Is a car really an appropriate holiday present? No, she says, and here's why not -- from the hypothetical wife's point of view:

I'm in SW Florida - no sweating on my system or anyone else that I know.
I live in south Florida and run my AC pretty much year round and have a question about the ceiling AC ducts. All my ceilings around the ducts are wet to the point the paint has bubbled a bit. There is no dripping but the ceiling drywall is quite damp when I removed it. It is only around the vent. the AC ducts themselves are square where they feed the rooms and seem to be made of metal foil wrapped fiberglass board (I apologize for not knowing the correct terminology).
My thoughts are the metal 'louvered vents' that attach to the ducts may be getting condensation that is then absorbed by the drywall. Does this make sense and how can I stop it?
Thanks in advance.

To amplify 'too large'. Ideally, a system runs all the time. This makes the air go over the evaporator coil many times, each pass removes moisture, eventually drying the air. If the system is oversized, it runs a short time, then shuts off. The ducts are now cold, and the air may be, but since it didn't run through the evaporator coils multiple times, it is now cold but clammy in the house.
Or, you could have lots of air leaks, with no vapor barrier in the walls, and it's just sucking in moisture. Just like a cold glass, anything below the dew point will have condensation on it. The key is to remove enough moisture to lower the dew point of the house air temp and keep it there.
If you only run the a/c part of the day, then open the house say at night, you will probably never get it dried out.

Another thing that helps is a variable speed air handler. Trane had a comment about identical houses with the same air conditioner. One had a variable speed version, the other a fixed speed one. Over the season (it must have been long!), the variable speed version pulled enough more moisture out of the air to fill a backyard swimming pool. By initially running the fan slowly, each pass across the evaporator pulled more moisture out. Then, only if it couldn't meet demand within a reasonable time, did it ramp the speed up. A nice side effect is that you never really hear the fan start or stop since it ramps up and down rather than banging on (really annoying if there's any flexing ductwork).

Thak you for the responses. My house is around 2000 sq feet (1,934 to be exact) under air. The A/C is a 13 seer unit. Is this the 'size' information? (I don't know too much about HVAC as you can see)
The house was built in 1993, the interior air handler is the original (RUUD) and the outside unit is new this year (It is a Goodman if that matters and has 13 seer lable). I need to get up in my attic to make sure the duct work is solid. Is this size unit ok?
The moisture problem is on the second story vents in 2 bathrooms and the master bedroom. The 2 other bedrooms seem to be ok and there is no problem with downstairs vents. I thought it might be underpowered fans in the bathrooms, but that does not explain the master bedroom.
SEER is a measure of efficiency, not capacity. It will be labeled something like 2T or tons. That is the capacity. A ton of a/c = 12K BTU/hour, if I remember properly.
Without running a heat loss analysis on the house, there is no way to tell if it is the right size. This would take into account the outside temps, desired inside temps, the house orientation, size, insulation, window and placement and other things.
Empirically, if the a/c compressor only runs for a very short time, it is probably over-sized. Lots of short on/off cycles is very inefficient, and is lousy at removing moisture from the air and longevity of the compressor.

- May 14th 2002, would have been Alex's tenth birthday. On her ninth I had teased her about this, soon she would be "old",double digits like Mitchi and I. Since there had been no funeral in Victoria,and so many of my friends had been asking if there was going to be "anything",Mitchi and I decided to take matters into our own hands. Every day since my eleventh birthday, I had gone over to Alex's house to talk with her Mom, usually we would listen at the other cried, but that day I had brought Mitchi with me for another reason. "We were thinking of asking the school if they could do anything for Alex," I asked, and her Mom was over the moon and got on the phone right away. If Alexis couldn't be here for her birthday we were going to go overboard for her. It took about six weeks of planning, but everything was all set by the time May 14th rolled around. I proudly walked over to my elementary school with my Mom, Alex's parents, Mitchi, and his whole family with my head held high. I hadn't been back to school since the middle of November, but immediately when I walked through those doors a crowd of my classmates came over to give me a hug. "Are you coming back next year?" they all asked and I told them I was. All the nervousness I had thought I would feel about going back began to melt away, even though I was still "the girl whose best friend died", people did care about me, and did want me to come back. The Principal then ushered us into the auditorium, and what I saw took my breath away. The auditorium was COVERED in Alex's art work, right by where the fifth graders sat was a picture she had drawn of her and I with the caption "Chels-You are my best friend and will always be. I love you!" That immediately got me crying, because I hadn't seen that picture since she had died, the stage was decorated even more beautifully. There was a huge picture of her, one that Mitchi and I had chosen ourselves, of her sitting on a tree branch in purple overalls, the sun was shining in her face and she looked almost like she was glowing, it was the perfect picture for this occasion especially. Beside the picture was a shelf that would be donated later to the school library, which was custom made for this occasion. It was made of wood, and had a large A on top. Inside was a couple of her books, including all four of her beloved Harry Potter books, and three of her favourite Beanie Babies, which I had donated.There were red streamers (her favourite colour), hanging down from the ceiling. I looked over at Mitchi and we smiled proudly, we had asked for all of these things and it was more perfect than we could have ever imagined. A couple of my close friends from school came in, together like Amanda, Paige, Courtney, and Adam. I had asked all of them to speak and they had accepted. Eitan also came in holding Courtney's hand. "Are you ready to go?" I asked him and he nodded smiling. "Here's my book," he whispered to me and I handed it back to him. "I don't want to see it now, surprise me later!" I said then turned around and added. "Happy birthday Eitan, I hope you have fun later because your sister would have wanted you too," I said to him and he gave me a big hug. "I'm going to miss you when I move away," he said in his cute little raspy voice. "No you won't! You'll see me every summer, and make so many new friends that you'll behaving way too much fun to miss me!" I said, but the truth was I was going to miss him as well. Even though Eitan was Sean's best friend I had known him his whole life, and I know Alexis would have wanted me to step in as his big sister now that she was gone, it's what I would have wanted her to do for my little brother had I been the one to pass away. More and more guests started to pile into the auditorium; there was Elisa, her Mom, all of the kids from our Synagogue, as well as my Rabbi, all of their parents, and just general members of the community who knew Alexis. Jenny's Mother, (the disabled girl who moved in right next door to Alex before she died), showed up with her husband, even the lady who owned the second hand clothing store near where we lived who had spent a lot of her career yelling at Alex, Mitchi, and I to stop using her store as a hiding spot during cops and robbers showed up! Once they had taken their seats the whole school came in, not one student said a word, they all just silently went to their seats. I found out later that none of the teachers had asked them do that, they just did it as a sign of respect on their own. The principal then came onstage and said a few words about why all of us were there, how she found it amazing that an eleven and twelve year old were able to pull off planning such an amazing event, and how she was honoured to have had a student like Alexis attend her school. Then everything really got started, Amanda, Paige, and Courtney all went up on stage and read poems they had written about their friend. What moved me most though was Adam's speech, even though he wasn't friends with Alex he spoke about how he strongly believed in life after death, and how her short life had touched so many, even if they never knew her. Then, it was Mitchi's turn. He looked nervously at the crowd,and then at the microphone, "please don't throw up," I whispered under my breath and Alex's Mom who was sitting right beside me giggled. "Um…I'm really not so good at talking, but one thing I am good at is dancing," he said, and I could see all of the older girls staring at him and murmuring to one another about how "hot" he was. Then the music started and he began to dance to He Lives in You from the Lion King, I had never seen him dance so beautifully, and when he was done got a standing ovation. Then Michael, Alex's Dad went onstage,and read the article he had written about her in the Globe and Mail, as he was ending his speech my stomach began doing flip flops, I never was good at making speeches, I'm still not, and I began to turn green. "You got this," said Adam from behind me, and when the applause for Michael had finished, up I went. I don't remember exactly what I said, but I talked about how Alex and I would make forts every Saturday morning, how she loved swimming, and riding on her scooter. How there was now an empty hole in my heart that would remain there, I paused nervously and looked directly at my godmother who nodded reassuringly,and on I went. "I know that I'm only eleven, but now I know what it's like to see a sunrise and really appreciate it because you have another day, I know why it's important to hug your friends and tell them you love them, I know what it's like to see something beautiful and treasure it in your mind, because who knows if you will see something that beautiful ever again. I know what it's like to be thankful for everything that you have right now, because nothing is more precious than time. This is what grief feels like, but it is also how wonderful being alive is. This is the gift Alex left me, appreciation, and memories of a best friend who will never be replaced, no matter where I go,what I do, or how long I live." I finished, and at first my whole class stood up for me, and then the whole school. I sat back down and Adam put his hand on my shoulder, "that was beautiful," he said. Then Eitan went up, and stole the show. For the past few months he had been writing a book about his sister in therapy, and had spent so much time working on it. It was the most beautiful act of love, a child; barely eight could give to his dead sister. I don't think there was a dry eye in the auditorium when he had finished, it was also the first time he had ever spoken about his sister's death in public. We then gathered outside to the schoolyard, the moment I had been waiting for, and there they were. Mitchi and I had gone into a furniture store right after my birthday, and asked if they could donate these, and they had come through. Inscribed not only with Alex's name and how long she had lived, but the caption "daughter, friend, and student. Now we are lit by her only from within". Mitchi and I hugged each other happily,and Essy grabbed each of our hands and pulled us to the largest bench, "the three of us should be the first to sit on this," said Essy and Mitchi and I grinned as we sat down. A bench is hardly a substitute for a best friend, but it was a physical act of love that so many other children would see for years and years to come. It would also be a special spot for Mitchi and me for the rest of our lives. We then got up, and took the microphone from the principal and addressed the whole school. "One thing Alex always loved on her birthday was double stuffed Oreos," Mitchi began. "So we weren't too sure if they had any in heaven, so Chelsea and I decided to take matters into our own hands," he said and held up a Ziploc bag filled with Oreos, and handed me the microphone."So I would like to get Eitan, Courtney, Paige, Amanda, and Adam up here to help tie them to these red balloons and then we will all release them together," I said bravely, as they came over. "So when we do release them, we should all shout out happy birthday to Alex, just so she knows we're still celebrating even though she's not here," I added as everyone began tying the back of cookies to the red balloons. "OKAY ON THREE!" Mitchi shouted without the mic, holding his share of the balloon pile. "ONE-TWO-THREE- RELEASE!" and we all let go. "HAPPY BIRTHDAY ALEXIS!" the whole school thundered, and I wiped the tears out of my eyes, as Adam put his arm around me. "This was absolutely the most beautiful day of my entire life," he whispered and pulled me into a hug. "Thanks Adam, for being my friend," I said to him.
As the summer dragged on Alex's family wasn't the only goodbye I had to make. Adam came over one afternoon in late June and told me his family was moving to Vancouver so he could be closer to the hospital. "When do you leave?" I asked. "Tomorrow," he said "I didn't want to tell you because I didn't want you thinking I was going to leave you, I wish I wasn't sick so I didn't have to go," he said. "It's good! You're going to be able to get better faster, you WILL beat this dumb cancer," I said to him and he gave me a half smile. "I know I will, I'm sure I will," he said determined. "I just wanted to tell you that you've uh…been my angel," he said shyly. He then came over and quickly kissed me cheek. "I'm going to miss you Chelsea," he said. "I will too," I said back after he had turned around and ran away.
A couple of months later I was sitting on the beach with Mitchi, we had started going again now in August, and tomorrow I would be going back to school. Elisa had switched to my school, and had gone back a year so she would be with me, so I wouldn't have to endure it by myself. "I can't believe it's been almost a year," said Mitchi, and I nodded in agreement. "I know but look at us, I think we're going to be okay, it might take more time,but we will be…eventually," I said and Mitchi put his arm around me. "Have you heard from Adam? You must miss him," he asked. "I do, but I don't think I'll ever hear from him again, it's just one of those things." I said, and in the end I was right. A couple of years ago however, I was watching the Fifa World Cup in South Africa on TV, it was Germany playing some other country, and I saw an unmistakably familiar face. I then googled my old friend and found out he was indeed playing for Germany, and was one of their best players. Well…he certainly kicked cancers ass.

Tires >Tire Mart
4914 Jonestown Rd, Harrisburg, PA | Directions 1710940.306095 -76.806412
HORRIBLE and HORRIBLE service, WORST place ever!!! – This is the worst shop I have ever been, don't ever go to them, they are good at cheating their customers and don't care about you at all. We drove from Nashville to NJ to visit our friends and had a car issue on interstate. AAA towed us to their store, first they over-charged us for almost $300 for a DEFECTIVE distributor (Pepboy accross the street sells this for $209, they claimed they purchased one from Pepboy and sold it to us for over $480+labor. This defective distributor only lasted for 5 minutes after we drove out of their shop, we had to drive back by restarting our car over 15 times on the way back. Then they told us their store was closing, there is nothing they could do the same day. We had to call our friends at NJ 2 hours away to pick us up, otherwise, we would end up on the street with nowhere to go since we didn't have a car. It is 8 hours from them driving back and forth for 2 days. When we found out they were cheating on us by selling a defective over-priced, we filed a complaint to BBB. They don't want to solve the issue at all, they said there was nothing they could do, and the defective distributor was not their fault, over-pricing was not their fault, leaving us in their backyard was not their falut. They even said that they were nice enough not charge us again on the 2nd day to replace THEIR defective distributor !!! What kind of business this shop is !!! Stay away from them. If I could give them 0 rating, I would.
Great Service and Great Price – Having just moved here from California I needed to have a slow leak in a tire repaired, and decided to have these folks change my oil and replace some tail light bulbs as well. I dropped off my Buick and it was ready in just a few hours. When I picked it up, I was shocked . . . SHOCKED! at the price. All of the above cost just $57 INCLUDING TAX! They changed the oil and filter, replaced the bulbs (a big job in my car), repaired my tire, and rotated the four tires. As I told the folks at the desk, back in San Francisco, it cost nearly that much to have a car WASHED! I was very pleased and will certainly take my car there again. Oh, one little side note; there was no charge for the tire service even though I didn't buy my tires there! You can bet I'll buy my next set from these great folks.
Honest mechanics, reasonable prices, GREAT customer service! – HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!
I can't say enough about The Tire Mart. I was treated so well, and they were able to fix a problem within 1.5 hours, that my previous mechanic was never able to fix (even after 3 attempts and MANY hours of labor charges).
I never once felt I was being treated differently as a female (I know some shops take advantage). The bill is carefully itemized and explained before you make payment.
If you're in the Harrisburg area, and in need of repair / inspection / or new tires, this is the ONLY place to go!

The Montrose P.D. convenes a Sergeants Promotion Board when they need to select a new sergeant to replace one lost due to attrition. This is a three-day process, with the first day's board (Tuesday, Aug. 6) consisting of three outside law enforcement commanders, one of whom was the Montrose County Sheriff. Day two, August 7, utilized a citizen panel of four civilians. On day three, the board is comprised of M.P.D. administrators. The process is well-designed, formal and absolutely fair.
There are no favorites, political agendas or preconceived choices. There were seven highly qualified candidates for the single position. It was an honor to be a board member on day two and it was an eyeopener. There were no "lemons" among the candidates. Each candidate had his or her strong points but all of the applicants were outstanding, dedicated and excellent examples of what we want in our police department. Each of the board on day two came from a different perspective.
I had been a criminal defense attorney, judge and law enforcement officer in my prior life. My fellow board members each had dissimilar but outstanding backgrounds. Our task was not easy. Montrose is fortunate to have a superb police department and we were charged with selecting one of its future commanders. The life of today's police officer is complex, constantly changing and fraught with challenges.
They are required to make life and death decisions in an instant while a court's possible review may take years. I salute the Montrose Police Department and especially the seven sergeant candidates we interviewed Wednesday.
– John W. Nelson, Montrose

Get the best deal on your new G15 wedges when you use 2nd Swing'sTrade-in Program where we give you a great value on your used golf clubs towards the purchase of new ones.

Custom Tuning Port - The CTP provides solid backing for the thin clubface to ensure consistent distance control and a solid feel. We saved 7 grams in the CTP design, weight that went to perimeter weighting for increasing the MOI.
Wide Sole - A wide sole and low-back CG produce a high ball flight that adds yards, even on strikes below the center of the face. The sole geometry also prevents digging.
Shaft - The Ping G15 Steel Irons come stock with the Ping AWT shaft in Senior, Regular, Stiff, and X-Stiff flex. For custom shaft options please call 612-216-4152.

- What is the Yellow Ribbon Program?
The Yellow Ribbon GI Education Enhancement Program (Yellow Ribbon Program) is a provision of the Post-9/11 Veterans Educational Assistance Act of 2008, also known as the Post-9/11 GI Bill or Chapter 33. The Yellow Ribbon Program allows institutions of higher learning to enter into a voluntary agreement with the Department of Veterans Affairs to contribute funds to a veteran's unmet tuition and fee charges when their tuition and fees charges exceed the amount payable under Chapter 33. The program allows institutions to contribute an amount up to 50 percent of a veteran's unmet costs; the Department of Veterans Affairs will match the amount.
The Yellow Ribbon scholarship is being coordinated with other USD grants and scholarships by replacing those grants and scholarships up to the amount of the Yellow Ribbon scholarship. Since the VA matches USD Yellow Ribbon scholarships, this ensures the student receives the full potential VA match without reducing their total USD scholarship.
Only 100% maximum benefited rate under chapter 33 is eligible for this funding. The Yellow Ribbon Program is not available for active service member and spouse of an active service member.
For 2013-14 school year - University of San Diego is providing Yellow Ribbon scholarship in the amount of:
- $8,180 for undergraduate students
- $6,911 for graduate and doctoral students
USD Yellow Ribbon Program is awarded after Post-9/11 has all been used. The unmet tuition will then be split or divided into two awards – USD YRP and VA matching of YRP. USD YRP must not go over above rates per academic year.
Fall 2013:
|Tuition & fees
|VA Post 911
|Unmet tuition
|VA YRP match
|Student due
Spring 2014:
|Tuition & fees

|Student due
How is the award posted on student accounts?

Other financial aid awards will be adjusted accordingly.Note: Only Non-Title IV awards; ROTC, CALGRANT, employee tuition remission or discounts and or tuition based only scholarship/grants will be deducted first before Post 9/11 and YRP is applied to student's account.

AUSTIN -- Clinging to a photograph of her daughter, the mother of a teen whose death is a mystery is now looking for answers.
"She always used to text me. I miss her texting me. I keep waiting for the phone to go off, but it's not her," said Mary Ann Hernandez.
Thirteen-year-old Sophia Martinez was found dead outside of a home in the 2400 block of Lakehurst Drive around 11 a.m. Tuesday. Police are questioning neighbors, friends and witnesses and say her death is "suspicious."
On Wednesday Martinez' family members huddled together in a living room, hugging each other for support.
The teen attended Garcia Middle School. Her mother says she was celebrating New Year's Eve with another teenager, her best friend. The girls were supposed to spend the night with a cousin.
Sophia's cousin tells KVUE she left to go to the store and when she returned, Sophia and her friend were gone. The child's mother, Mary Ann Herrera, says Sophia was supposed to stay with her cousin and was not allowed to leave for another party.
'We don't know what happened. We don't know anything. We are wondering 'where were they? Why did this happen?'" Sophia's grandfather Fidel Herrera said.
Police say a black car carrying the two teen girls rode up to the home on Lakehurst Drive on New Year's Day. Witnesses say Sophia Martinez wasn't breathing and her friend was knocking feverishly on doors, screaming for help before a neighbor called 911.
An officer arrived on the scene and began chest compressions. The teen was taken to Dell Children's Medical Center, where she was pronounced dead.
'We just want to know what happened,' said Herrera "She was a sweet girl, a good kid. She wrote down all her goals for the new year. She planned to bring up her grades in school and attend class every day. She had dreams of becoming a teacher and helping people. She loved to help me at home with her brothers and sisters. I miss her."
The cause of Sophia's death is still under investigation. Investigators say she did not have any visible signs of trauma. An autopsy has been ordered.
The family is opening a bank account under the name "Sophia Martinez" for funeral expenses. A candlelight vigil is planned for Wednesday at 8 p.m. at the scene on Lakehurst Drive. Friends and loved ones are welcome to join.

New 'Google' For the Dark Web Makes Buying Dope and Guns Easy 155

First time accepted submitter turkeydance (1266624) writes "The dark web just got a little less dark with the launch of a new search engine that lets you easily find illicit drugs and other contraband online. Grams, which launched last week and is patterned after Google, is accessible only through the Tor anonymizing browser (the address for Grams is: grams7enufi7jmdl.onion) but fills a niche for anyone seeking quick access to sites selling drugs, guns, stolen credit card numbers, counterfeit cash and fake IDs — sites that previously only could be found by users who knew the exact URL for the site."
